At the same time the owner of the motorbike Mr. Neanrit Arison, traced his stolen red Yamaha Filano’s location using the iPad he had left underneath the motorcycle seat while visiting the Night Market in Pattaya. Unfortunately when he found his bike, it was wedged into the front of the car with Chalermpol, the 42 year-old thief lying dead on the road nearby.
